EXHIBIT B-1 
REVISED ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK 
1.0 INTENT: 
The purpose of this exhibit is to replace the Database Developer role on the project with an 
Organizational Change Management Analyst and add a Quality Assurance Analyst. The timeline of the 
project will remain the same, running through September 30, 2024. The aforementioned changes will be 
covered by applying $340,755.82 in funds from Phase IV: Solution Implementation Support. There will 
be no increase to the total contract amount with this amendment. 
 
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK 
The scope of services to be completed by Guidehouse in Phase IV will be adjusted from Amendment 13. 
The scope changes are replacing the Database Developer role with the Organizational Change 
Management Analyst role and the addition of a Quality Assurance Analyst role. The systems covered by 
Implementation and Oversight services will remain the same: the original Treasury Information System 
(TIS) and the e-Gov system to include Dynamics Replacement Implementation.  
Background  
MCTO asked Guidehouse to provide additional support for the Organizational Change Management 
effort. This will replace the database developer on the project. In addition to the replacement the county 
has also requested that Guidehouse provide a Quality Assurance Analyst to assist with the testing effort 
on the new MCTIS system. 
Estimated Timeline  
The implementation of the new MCTIS system is scheduled to be completed in August of 2024, followed 
by a post-deployment warranty period of 30 days. The contract will expire at the end of the business day 
on Monday, September 30, 2024. The project resources will support the delivery of all relevant project 
milestones, tasks and activities. Price per Deliverable and Labor Cost under exhibit A is based on this 
timeline. A change in the timeline will impact Exhibit A.

milestones identified in Exhibit A. 
3.1 Implementation Support Deliverables
